I did a search of North Carolina laws, and could not come up with any that covered killing snakes, except those that are specifically protected as Endangered or Threatened species. It seems that North Carolina is one of those states that still consider snakes as "pest animals". I'm not even sure that you could get action under one of the Animal Cruelty laws. The way they are written it is to cover "dumb animals", which seems to include things like horses, mules, dogs, cats, etc.
